>Replying to criticism that My Little Pony is "junk" while Star Wars stems from "integrity and creative vision", cartoonist Craig McCracken noted that both franchises can have integrity or be junk, depending on how they're produced.
>"When I was a kid I spent a lot of time playing with the artistically rooted pieces of junk that George was selling me. My wife Lauren did the same the only difference was her junk was pink and had combable hair. Either way these toys were far from junk, in fact they were our lives. Everyday we would make up characters, worlds, and adventures for them. Lauren's My Little Pony world was no less valid than My Little Star Wars world."
>"So imagine little Lauren's surprise when she heard there was going to be a cartoon of her favorite toy! Imagine her disappointment when the cartoon didn't live up to the world she had created in her head. Maybe she wouldn't have been so upset if she realized that cartoon was only bad because it was produced by a bunch of dudes who couldn't believe they were working on My Little Pony, uggggh. Imagine if they let HER make it, she knows why girls like Pony, she knows what will make it fun and cool."
>"Now imagine 30 years later in some crazy cosmic coincidence she actually does get a get a chance to finally bring that world she's had in her head since she was a little kid to life! Maybe just maybe if she can traverse the waters of notes, schedules, and executives she can finally inject a little a artistic integrity and creative vision into it and make a MLP that girls will actually really like."
>"Heck I even like it now and I hated that lame Pony junk, it wasn't cool like my Star Wars junk."
Based Kraken seeing the future one year before Disney would buy Star Wars and run it into the ground. Now here we are ten years later and both franchises have been junked (or re-junked) through a lack of artistic integrity.
